Small Makers Month has begun at Knitwear! This is the time of year when we celebrate small-production blacksmiths who's work we love, but can't get year-round. Naoto's here to tell you the story of blacksmith Toshihiro Wake, how he went from making pryers to making kitchen knives, even apprenticing at Yoshikane alongside Masashi Yamamoto.

Agreed, I love Wakui- San's work. Very solid performance, reasonably minimal maintenance. Yoshikane has definitely trained some amazing smiths.

I am so pleased to have brought his 210 gyuto home with me today. It was the congee that caught my eye, but craftsmanship was the deciding factor. As always, without your staff I’d never know the pleasure of a quality knife. Thanks again!

I must say Naoto is a perfect choice for the youtube videos! He was really nice and cool when I met him at knifewear in vancouver. Very helpful and knowledgeable at his craft what a sexy beast ;)

I know Wakui has made a 270 gyuto in the past. Think you will get any in that size?

If I was to add one of this blacksmiths knives, it would probably be a nakiri. Based on the information about the grind and edge geometry in the video, it should be a veg prep monster.
